Venugopal Urges Reversal of Air India Flight Cuts
Imagine a lot of people from Kerala live and work in other countries, especially in the Middle East.
They depend on Air India flights to visit family and come home.
A politician named K.C. Venugopal is worried because Air India plans to reduce the number of flights.
He is concerned this will make it harder for these people to travel and could make ticket prices go up.
He's asking the government to make sure the flights keep running so that travel stays easy and affordable for everyone.

He urged halting Air India's flight cuts from Kerala airports.
Flight reductions will affect the Kerala diaspora.
